2. Quick Write
You have five minutes to write down anything and everything you know about matter. Don’t worry about structure, grammar, or even being correct! Just write as much as you can! Write to the point where your hand hurts!

3. Everything that has mass and volume
What is matter?
Everything that has mass and volume
Basic definition of matter.

4. Mass
A measure of how much matter is in an object.
Unit: kg

5. Weight A measure of the force of gravity on an object.
This means that an objects mass will always be the same, but the weight may change depending if it is on the Earth, the moon, or mars! Depends on GRAVITY.

6. Volume
The amount of space that matter occupies.
Unit: Liter (L)

7. Density
The measurement of how much mass of a substance is contained in a given volume.
Mass/Volume

8. TemperaturE The measure of how hot or cold is an object.
SI unit: Kelvin
Daily Unit: Celsius
